Hey guys, I just picked up a 1989 Ford Taurus with only 60k miles! Currently it's grey exterior, and grey interior. I'm of course looking to do a build, and I have done a little research and found out that the paint is actually a dark grey, not primer black. All these years I always thought it was primer black. Anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm currently looking for a light bar, but I'm not 100% sure which one to go with. I noticed that all 3 movies use different light bars. What have other builders used and which one would be the best to go with. Looking to pick up the CPU, as well as how to make a cage. Thanks for all your time guys! I'll get pictures of the car later today and upload them. I'm looking to document the progress of the car. Thanks again!

Welcome to the Archive and good look with the car.
Post us lots of pics.
Quite a few fans on here have made up cars so I'm sure there'll be plenty of chat to come...

Its a Whelen Edge 9000. They are not too difficult to find but will cost you quite a bit these days. This car belonged to a friend of a friend (he has since sold it) who consulted me on doing some restorations to make it more accurate.

48 inches.

Looks like theres one for sale on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/WHELEN-EDGE-9000-48-Emergency-Light-Bar-Model-9406-/112190552466

You can still buy replacement lens covers for them pretty cheap to make the colors accurate to the movie car.
